Something Wicked This Way Comes

Something Wicked This Way Comes is a 1962 novel by Ray Bradbury. It is about two thirteen-year-old boys, Jim Nightshade and William Halloway, who have a harrowing experience with a nightmarish carnival that comes to their Midwestern town one October. The carnival's leader is the mysterious "Mr. Dark" who bears a tattoo for each person who, lured by the offer to live out their secret fantasies, has become bound in service to the carnival. Mr. Dark's malevolent presence is countered by that of Will's father, Charles Halloway, who harbors his own secret desire to regain his youth.

The novel combines elements of fantasy and horror, analyzing the conflicting natures of good and evil, and on how they come into play between the characters and the carnival. Unlike many of Bradbury's other works, including the tangentially related Dandelion Wine, which are collections of loosely related short stories, Something Wicked This Way Comes can be considered a full-length novel with a consistent plot.

Something Wicked This Way Comes is one of the best books ever written.

Wicked Weasel duck call

This is a phenomenom where a woman wearing a g-string farts causing the thin strip of butt floss to vibrate like a reed and resonnate a sound like a duck call.A similar effect is accomplished by holding a blade of grass between cupped hands and blowing.With a little practice,a wearer can produce sounds that mimic a crow call and a dying rabbit.By adjusting thong tension and sphincter control,notes ranging between E flat and C sharp are possible.

After consuming a big bowl of chili beans,my girlfriend serenaded me with her Wicked Weasel duck call.

Covid-19 Is a Wicked Problem

When no superpower or developed country alone is able or capable of solving the global coronavirus crisis, whose solution requires the knowhow of both friendly and unfriendly nations.

With Beijing’s initial cover-ups and President Trump’s recurring lies and conspiracies on the coronavirus while in office, the world, which recognizes that Covid-19 is a wicked problem, is skeptical that these two superpowers could put aside their differences to fight the pandemic.

wick dipped, get my

Male slang for sexual intercourse, where "wick" (as in candle-wick) is symbolic for penis, and "dipped" or "dip" symbolizes the in-and-out motion of sexual intercourse.

.
example of wick dipped, get my:

Anxious Sergeant, holding phone: "I have to tell him where the Captain is. Where's the Captain?"

Corporal: "The Captain's getting his wick dipped."

Sergeant, on phone: "Sir, the Captain is getting his wick dipped."

(slight paraphrase from movie THREE KINGS.)

The John Wick Double Tap

Shooting your enemy once in the torso followed by a quick, accurate, second shot to their head. As seen, many many times, in the John Wick movies.
